Nightingale's ramp was integrated into the 'fallen pillar' as a means of access to the world (through someone's sacrifice). It is relatively simple in its design, but this lends towards the idea of conventionality.
Hawking had numerous ramps that were integrated into the building. The first section of ramp (image 1) connects to the roof of the meeting area, then snakes its way through the building (image 2), passing above the lowered ceiling (image 3) - these paths had their views intentionally blocked as a way of creating a 'gradual realisation'. After the last ramp (image 4), the observer is struck with a visual which intends to connect the two buildings - the similarly angled section, as well as the slight appearance of a cross when looking at Hawking's space (I did not have enough time to refine this as well as I wanted to).
